THE DEATH OF NEDHAM ALMOLK

(BY SHEBAL ADDAULET)

Thy virtues famed through every land,

Thy spotless life, in age and youth,

Prove thee a pearl, by nature's hand,

Formed out of purity and truth.

Too long its beams of Orient light

Upon a thankless world were shed;

Allah has now revenged the slight,

And called it to its native bed.
